DM74LS08N

Inverter Gates Overview

The DM74LS08N is a quad 2-input AND gate integrated circuit manufactured by onsemi, originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.75V to 5.25V and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The device features four independent logic gates in a 14-lead Plastic Dual-In-Line Package (PDIP). Electrical characteristics include a maximum propagation delay of 18ns at 50pF load, high-level output current of -0.4mA, and low-level output current of 8mA.

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin as this component was originally released by Fairchild Semiconductor before acquisition by onsemi. Confirm the package type matches the required N14A PDIP specification. Check for RoHS compliance status as original datasheets may predate modern environmental directives. Ensure the ordering code suffix corresponds to the specific package variant needed for the design.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring multiple independent AND functions in a single DIP package. Consider the propagation delay specifications for timing-critical paths. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the typical supply current values provided in the electrical characteristics table. Verify that the input voltage thresholds align with the driving logic family used in the system.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part belongs to the 74LS series of logic devices, known for low-power Schottky technology. It serves as a fundamental building block for combinational logic circuits. The PDIP-14 package allows for easy prototyping and through-hole mounting on breadboards or perfboards. It is widely recognized in legacy digital electronics designs.

Inverter Gates Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements include SN74LS08 from Texas Instruments and MC74LS08 from ON Semiconductor. Other compatible alternatives are available from manufacturers producing standard 74LS logic families.
